Them belly full but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
You're gonna dance to JAH music, dance
We're gonna dance to JAH music, dance
Forget your troubles and dance
Forget your sorrow and dance
Forget your sickness and dance
Forget your weakness and dance
Cost of living get so high,
Rich and poor, they start a cry
Now the weak must get strong
They say, "Oh, what a tribulation"

Them belly full but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
We're gonna chuck to JAH music, chuckin'
We're chuckin' to JAH music, we're chuckin'

Chuckin'
Chuckin'

Chuckin'
Chuckin'

A belly full but them hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough

A hungry man is a angry man
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough

A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough;
A hungry mob is a angry mob

General Commenti know that in alot of Rastafarian talk they mess around with words and stuff. i.e. downpressor man instead of opressor man because if you are opressed or opressing you are not lifting up, but bringing down; but what is the significance of "A yot a-yook, but d' yood no 'nough" when he later states "A pot a-cook, but you no 'nough" ?????

General CommentDude, he's really say the pot it cook, but the food not enough. It's just the guy who posted these lyrics decided to spell out Marley's accent, instead of just posting what his official lyrics say. The lyrics are on his website, if you don't believe my message,

General CommentWho cares, its what its about that matters. And its very true these situations all around the world. There are people doing it incredibly tough, but he says that the love of God, (Jah) is with them, so they dance to Jah music; They have to find happiness somehow in God, but its never easy. 'A hungry mob is a angry mob.'

General Commentwow what a song, one of my favorites. when i first heard this song i wasnt really paying attention to the lyrics and i thought that it meant that people have all of this stuff (material possessions) but they still want more them belly full but WE hungry.
